Specification of Letters latent. I

Patented Aug. 3, 1915.

Application filed June 15, 1914. Serial No. 845,083.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM L. BAn-R, a citizen of the United States,and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee customary bores 9and 9.

and State of Wisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements inPipes, of which the following is a description, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in pipes and more particularly tothe stem portion thereof.

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide a pipehaving sectional stem portions in which provision is made foreffectively trapping nicotin and for trapping saliva and preventing thesettlement thereof in the bowl of the pipe.

A. further object of the invention is to provide a pipe having meanswithin its stem for effectively cooling the smoke drawn therethrough andthus conducing to the comfort of the user.

A. further object of the invention is to provide a pipe stem sectionwhich may be connected to any ordinary pipe having a removable stem andwhich will, when so connected, impart to the pipe the advantages beforementioned.

A further object of the invention is to provide a pipe which is ofsimple construction, is strong and durable and is well adapted for thepurpose desired.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of theimproved pipe and its parts and combinations as set forth in the claims,and all equivalents thereof.

In the accompanying drawing in which the same reference charactersindicate the same parts in all of the views: Figure 1 is a verticalcentral sectional view of a pipe embodying the improved construction;and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the improved stem sectionremoved from the pipe with the parts shown in separatedpositions.

Referring to the drawing the numeral 5 indicates a pipe bowl, 6 theprojecting stem portion, 7 the removable stem portion and mouth pieceand 8 the connecting tube for removably, attaching the two stem portionstogether. The connecting tube 8 is preferably slipped into the adjacentends of the stem portions and frictionally holds the parts together.While this manner of conneoting the stem portions together is shown anddescribed, it is to be understood that within the upper end of theconnecting tube 8 and extends upwardly into the bore 9 of the removablestem. provided with an aperture 12 which opens The cup member iscommunication between the bore 9 of the removable stem and the chamber13 of the cup member. The cup aperture 12 is located atv a pointintermediate of the opposite ends of the cup member and 1n use the saidmember is positioned with the aperture extending upwardly. The openended portion 11 of the cup member is of less diameter than theremaining portion to space a conical trap tube 14, extending through theopen end and into the chamber, away from the side walls of the cupmember. This trap tube extends to a point near the upper end of the cuptube and forms a trap portion in one end of the chamber 13 between theaperture and the lower portion of the chamber to receive and holdnicotin which is precipitated by the smoke passing through the trap tubeand engaging and being deflected by the walls of the chamber and anyforeign matter which may be carried by the smoke.

In some cases the connecting tube may be formed integral with one of thestem portions or entirely eliminated when the stem is in one piece or isconnected together in a manner difierent from that shown. The annularspace 16 surrounding the cup member and below the aperture of the cupmember also serves as a trap to prevent saliva from passing through thestem and into the bowl of the pipe.

When the pipe has been in use for some time and it is desired to cleanthe same, it

' is only necessary to separate the parts in the sult that a sanitarysmoke is provided for through a circuitous passage before reaching themouth of the user and is cooled and the nicotin and other deleterioussubstances are, to a large extent, removed from the smoke and that thesaliva is trapped in its passage toward the pipebowl with the reas aclosure, and provided with an aperture intermediate its length which isadapted 'to be positioned adjacent the upper side i of said stem andbeyond said closure an appreciable distance to form a saliva trap insaid stem at the mouth end, and a removable trap tube open at both ends,supported solely by said cup member forming a clo- -sure for the lowerend thereof and having one end extending'into said cup member beyondsaid aperture.

2. A pipe, comprising a bowl portion pro-' vided with a stem, a cupmember positioned within the bore of said stem, having its closed endlocated farthest from said bowl with a portion of its open end in closecontact With the side-walls of said bore to serve as a closure, andprovided with an aperture intermediate its length which is adapted to bepositioned adjacent the upper side of said stem and beyond said closurean appreciable distance to form a saliva trap in said stem at the mouthend, and a removable trap tube open at both ends, supported solely bysaid cup member forming a closure for the lower end thereof and havingone end extending into said cup member beyond said aperture, the end ofsaid trap tube nearest-the bowl being of less diameter than said boreand projecting from said cup member to prevent sediment from said bowlentering said cup member.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.
